I think organisers of these events need to realise that just because its a "festival" and its in the Highlands it doesn't mean it will automatically be successful. Yes there are very successful festivals that go on in the Highlands but it is because they are good quality.

I'm a McFly fan and I'm disappointed obviously but the ticket prices were not value for money. As much as I hate to say it the majority of Scottish McFly fans will be in school or uni and have exams at the start of May. (most of McFly's tours are Oct/Nov or middle of the summer shows) And the Sugababes are completely pish now.

I don't think having it outside Nairn is the issue, that seemed to be the point that it was a festival for people from the Highlands. Just a shame no one actually was bothered about it.

It's been really poorly organised and they took the piss with announcing it was cancelled less than three weeks before it was due to go ahead.

Quelle surprise.

It was always going to happen, especially when they cancelled Sunday. Even before then it seemed that 9/10 folk had a "bad feeling" about it.

Atrocious planning, dreadful line-up (Vatersay Boys & Skerryvore aside), a real lack of information or sense of "event", piss-poor advertising, over priced... it goes on and on and on.

Thank goodness we've got Rockness & Belladrum (and the ICT gigs) up here, but is it any wonder that "big" acts don't bother their arse coming up this way often? Christ, I never thought I'd be happy to see Westlife up here but I really hope the Cawdor Castle gig is a HUGE success to prove to other bands/artists that they CAN have faith in Highland gigs.

The fact that the R4L website is just showing a logo and giving absolutely NO information is completely telling of the organisers ignorance and awful attitude towards those who had spent money on tickets, travel and accommodation. It's a disgrace. A complete disgrace
